Alongside this weekend’s Toronto International Film Festival, a new NSFW trailer for the unique sci-fi actioner Hardcore has been released online. Written and directed by Ilya Naishuller and executive produced by Timur Bekmambetov, the entire movie will exist within the FPS perspective. For all those of us who have rotted 1/5 of our brains playing COD/Battlefield, maybe this will be entirely natural.
Here’s the official synopsis for Hardcore:
You remember nothing. Mainly because you’ve just been brought back from the dead by your wife (Haley Bennett). She tells you that your name is Henry and congratulations, you’re now a cyborg.
5 minutes later, your wife has been kidnapped and you should probably go get her back. Who’s got her? His name’s Akan (Danila Kozlovsky), he’s just a psychotic megalomaniac with telekinetic powers, and a never-ending army of mercenaries. You’re also in an unfamiliar city of Moscow, Russia and everyone wants you dead. Everyone, except for a mysterious British fellow called Jimmy (Sharlto Copley). He might be on your side. Good luck Henry. You’re very much likely to need it.
